We said some time since that we
were in favor of a tariff for revenue
ouly without the word incidental
attached. Toe NelrS oud OJSerrer
says if 1t understands us rightly we
are in favor Of L tariff that will not
incidentally protect. Now we are
not in any way responsible for other
peoples stupidity and dullness of
comprehension. We said no such
thing, nor can we conceive now any
one could have SO understood MS.
Any tariff however high or low laid
upon any article made or produced
in this county will protect the home
producer TO that extent. 1t is i'm
possible to be otherwise. A tariff
on coffee will not protect any one in
this country because no one in this
country grows coffee, and c0psc>

The Mount Holly Encampment
was a grand success. The eXhibl-
ton was not equal to some fairs we
have seen in the State except in
grasses end small grain which sur,
passed anything we have ever seen
in that line. But as a gathering o.
the farmers to commute together
it has never been equalled in this
State. Not less than six thousand
people were IN attendance on each
day and on Thursday there must
have been nearly ten thousand peO-
pie on the grounds. Many very
able, instructive speeches were made
on farming and kindred subjects,
which if remembered, stud Ell and
followed will save many million to
the people. This encampment of
the farmers was a grand movement
in the light direction. Let the good
work go on and keep professional
politicians at a distance, and don
let the demagogues capture the
order.

IL answer to our enquiry as to the cor
rect"ess Of Mr.. Kitchin'S statement that
a negro man was the chief mailing clerk
at Charlotte, Mr.. Yates, Of the Home
Democrat, says;
THE chief mailing clerk. the chief
clerk and the delivery clerk, in the Char
lotte pOstOtfce, are white men. There is
a colored man IN the office who acts as
Janltor and general assistant. He was
there through former republican admins
tTatIonS, and when Gen. Young went
IN as postmaster he was the only man
Who was willing to remain and help the
new postmaster IN the discharge of his
new duties. He is capable, polite and
accommodating, and knows a great deal
about the running OF the mails-in fact.
ms services cannot easily be dispensed
with. unless an intelligent white man
would 60 IN at the pay % per month)and
quickly learn the duties"
And to the same effect IS the state
ment Of the Charlotte Chronicle. The
Scotland Neck DEMOCRAT asked who
would deny its statement that a negro
man was chief mailing clerk, &c? The
above being the facts, its statement is
SHOWN TO be Incorrect NelCS Il Observer.
Not so. Our statement is not
shown to be incorrect. But upon
the contrary osr statement Is shown
by the above from brother Yates to
be more than true. Brother Yates

BRANDON, MISS, August lS.-The
attorneys for the defense in the Ham.
ilton case spent the entire day in the
preparation Of the application for a
continuance, which was filed just be-
fore the adjournment Of court. The
argument on the motion will consume
all Of tomorrow and probably por-
tion OF the next day. The attorneys
for the prosecution will vigorously re-
sist the continuance, as they are
ready for trial. The motion is qnite
lengthy, and recites as grounds for a
continuance absence Of witnesses,
and that the defendants cannot
get an impartial trial here on account
Of undue prejudice in the public
mind. II is understood that II the
continuance is granted that Hamilton
will apply for bail, and some new
testimony will probably he taken, but
the prosecution will insist that the
section OF the Revised Code cited In
yesterdays dispatch will bar the Court
from entertaining the application for
bail. II the continuance Is denied, q
special venire OF fifty men will be
drawn, aud the case set Tor
q day next week. The counsel
for the prosecution will be strength
ened in their arguments against the
motion by Congressman John Allen,
who arrived todsy. The large mum.

creased. The best OF order prevails.
